Carry Away

We learned the word to say

I humbly receive

But how could they prepare us

For the hand that came

When a thousand perfect strangers’ arms opened

Or the smallest fingers

Offered up a paper crane

Where you go

So must I

Go where you

Stay I will

Stay where you

Rest I’ll follow

Whenever the rain falls I hear your name

And I remember the way

The frenzy felt like home again

Like a wave of yesterdays

Crashing to the shore

I close my eyes and I’m carried away

I see temples in your eyes

The ripples in the rivers and the

Blossoms of the tree

They are echoes we treasure

From the time we walked together

When I press my head against your chest

Your breath becomes the sea

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

Lead me, lead me

To the brink, I’ll follow

We can watch the sun rise

On the banks of tomorrow

As an iris opens

Without fear of evening’s chill

Whenever the rain falls

I hear your name
